    Hi @dinhngtu , it is frozen [image: 1741004127842-6b60c062-a81b-4938-bcf1-244722c14f50-image.png] EDIT : I'm installing prometheus and grafana and winsows exporter to have date, time and metrics for CPU, when freeze arrive, exact date and time, to coroborate logs There is a new update on 24H2, correct RDP bugs, maybe freeze bug ? I test and i'm back if i have more informations : [image: 1741021752202-12313b22-b53c-4f40-b58d-7e7464623bf6-image.png] https://www.it-connect.fr/windows-11-kb5052093-quels-sont-les-changements-apportes-par-cette-mise-a-jour/ "Il y a deux bugs corrigés dans la fonctionnalité de Bureau à distance, notamment où l'application cesse de répondre, et un autre bug lié à des problèmes d'affichage."

    @Bzyk47 Could you take your home PC to the office for a week? Take it to the office, and install XCP-ng on it Migrate your VMs from ESXi to XCP-ng. Install XCP-ng on your office server. Migrate your VMs to your office server. Do incremental backups of your VMs to your home pc. Take your home PC back home. This solves your bandwidth problem, lets you continue to operate during your migration, and doesn't require new hardware.

    @mohammadm said in XCP-ng 8.3 & AMD Firepro S7150x2: Too bad, so at this point we have 4/5 GPU's that are pretty much useless. Any other alternatives for GPU? When using dGPU, PCI-e passthrough to the VM itself, it does work but after a while the whole screen turn black. They have to disconnect and connect to the RDP session again to see the screen again. Looks like a screen suspend issue, have you tried to disable it ?

    Hello all, Version 9.0.9030 of the new Windows PV drivers has been released. This release brings multiple driver stability fixes, a new Rust-based Xen Guest Agent and the XenBootFix boot repair tool. This driver release is for testing purposes only and not for production use. It requires putting the system into testsign mode. (only applies to the drivers themselves, not XenBootFix and XenClean; you can use the two tools separately without any configuration) Download the release here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases/tag/v9.0.9030 Release notes are below: Before Installing This driver release is for testing purposes only. Not for production use! Make backups/snapshots before installing! The drivers in this package are testsigned and require enabling testsigning mode. Disable Secure Boot, then run the included script testsign/install.ps1 as Administrator to configure Windows and install the necessary signer certificates. Your VM will reboot automatically. If you're running version 9.0.9000.0, we're interested in hearing about your upgrade experience to 9.0.9030. Changes since 9.0.9000.0 NEW: Includes the new Rust-based Xen Guest Agent for resource and IP address reporting. NEW: Includes the new XenBootFix boot repair tool for VMs rendered unbootable by any Xen drivers (Xen PV, XCP-ng, Citrix, etc.) NOTICE: Xen PV disk drivers are now disabled by default on new installations. The default emulated NVMe driver will be used instead. Existing installations will not be affected. Fixes: Many more installation, uninstallation and upgrade safety checks are now built into the installer. Fixes: Various improvements to XenClean for more complete removal of driver services. Fixes: xenvbd: Xen PV disk drives now report as SSD drives to avoid unnecessary defragmentation (commit) Fixes: xenvif: Fix various VM hanging and crashing issues when changing VM network in Xen Orchestra (commit 1, commit 2) Debug symbols are now included with the installation package. Changes since 8.2.2-beta This release is based on upstream 9.1-series drivers, which includes the PV Mouse/Keyboard driver and PV Console Driver. You can access the PV console with the following command from a XCP-ng host: xl console -t pv <vmname> New installer with clean uninstallation and multiple install/uninstall safety checks. New XenClean utility for cleanly removing XCP-ng and Citrix drivers. Multiple driver stability fixes. Volume Shadow Service Provider is no longer included. (XCP-ng 8.1 and newer no longer support quiescent snapshots) Management Agent is currently not included. Xen Orchestra may show "Management agent not detected", but shutdown and reboot features will work normally. We're looking to bring back features of the management agent in the next releases. Check out the new Rust-based Xen Guest Agent included in our package! We're looking to bring back even more features to the agent. Older Windows versions are no longer supported. The driver requires at a minimum Windows 10 1607 or Windows Server 2016. Help / Community Support If you encounter installation/uninstallation errors, please try again with one of the following commands: For installing: msiexec.exe /i XenDrivers-x64.msi /l*vx install.log For uninstalling: msiexec.exe /x XenDrivers-x64.msi /l*vx uninstall.log Please include this log along with the file C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log in your bug report. These files will help us troubleshoot any installation issues. Additionally, please report any errors or BSOD you encounter during testing of this release. Your feedback is very appreciated.

    @Davidj-0 Zero changes. This is ran on a MS-01 with 2x 2TB NVME running in mirror RAID. All I use this for is to mess around with VMs and self host some services. I was still learning stuff so never back up anything because I was still building it out. Don’t feel like starting over, but have no idea what this fault even means to attempt to recover what I have done.

    Hello, I had freezes of the console, which do not appear any more, I do not know any more exactly what I did on my W11 pro 24H2 new on XCP 8.3 on XOA, I tried at best to : Disable the VM screen shutdown Disable standby Set to maximum performance The screen is still “active” and not black But I have another problem, probably related to microsoft, the vm freezes again but completely, inacessible in rdp, console, mouse keyboard, CPU and MEMORY statistics graphs freeze on XOA, restarting the VM by force is mandatory 24H2 has a lot of problems, notably the RDP freeze which also happens to me sometimes, impossible to rdp, sometimes yes sometimes no, I also modified the local strategy concerning this freeze problem but well... We'll see, Microsoft doesn't test its products anymore EDIT : For RDP Freeze, on the VM, there is a strategy local who fix the bug : Stratégie de l'ordinateur local > Configuration ordinateur > Modèles d'administration > Composants Windows > Services Bureau à distance > Hôte de session Bureau à distance > Connexions > Sélectionner la détection du réseau sur le serveur --> définir sur Activé ----->Chosir : Désactiver la détection du temps de connexion et la détection continue du réseau do a : gpupdate /force RDP Works fine now on W11 24H2

    @bleader Thank you for the thorough explanation it greatly helps to understand how the team works to keep these systems secure and functional. From a generalist standpoint, I'll use publicly availability tools to check for and report on any known vulnerabilities within my network (public and private) to me, and then I'll either address those vulnerabilities by either a patch or more commonly a configuration change within a given system. These could include my UPSs or switches, Hypervisors, client devices (laptops etc). Addressing these is a huge portion of the work that I have to address in a day to day, and knowing what would be normal convention to saying "hey I found this issue with a commodity vulnerability scanner, is it going to be addressed" is useful.

    All NICs on XCP-NG Node Running in Promiscuous Mode

    Running tcpdump switches the interface to promiscuous to allow all traffic that reaches the NIC to be dumped. So I assume the issue you had on your switches allowed traffic to reach the host, that was forwarding it to the VMs, and wasn't dropped because tcpdump switched the VIF into promiscuous mode. If it seems resolved, that's good, otherwise let us know if we need to investigate further on this

    @WillEndure said in Beginner advice - coming from Debian: @DustinB @DustinB said in Beginner advice - coming from Debian: Why are you keen on keeping raw XEN on Debian? Not committed to the idea - its just what I currently have and invested a bit of time into setting it up and understanding it since before XCP-ng was around. Time is a factor too because you can waste a lot of it setting stuff like this up! But overall yes, I should probably move over to XCP-ng for my host. Got it, sunk-cost fallacy.

    If the machines are on the same pool no problem. If they are not, you need to export the template and import it in the other pool.

    Hi, I read it quickly, but it's likely Warm migration is the solution you need.

    @tjkreidl We don't need performance, but we do need to test how XCP-ng pools, networking, migration, live migration, backup, import from VMware and so on work. It's just a playground where we can have relatively many XCP-ng hosts, but it's not about performance, it's about efficiency and low requirements, because it's just a playground where we learn, validate how things work, and prepare the process for the final migration from VMware to XCP-ng. We originally had two R630s ready for this, then 4, but that would have been unnecessary, given the power consumption, to have physical hypervisors, so in the end we decided to virtualize it all. Well, on ESXi it's because XCP-ng works seamlessly there in nested virtualization.

    @Bambos A timeout error means that the host did not reply in the expected delay, which, if I'm remembering correctly is 5 minutes. I suspect a problem on your host but we will take a look further on your support ticket.
